right, last week i fitted some front led winkers and all was fine but today i've fitted the rear ones and they all come on together!
At first i thought i had wired them wrong, so i tried different ways but... still nowt.
Anyone got any ideas on where i've gone wrong? i'm off for a ride in a mo-jo, best start using me arms Laughing

I belive it's to do with the voltage being used is so low.
Can't remember the name of it but basically the little metal cylinder that makes the indicators work. Get a different one of those.

There was a big thread on it a while back.

You don't need to get a new relay unit, all you need is a few power resistors to solder in in parallel with the indicators. I won't bore you with the details but PM me if you want to know more.

Cheers
